LINDEN – Police responded to the 800 block of Cleveland Avenue on a report of shots fired Saturday night, Capt. James Sarnicki said.

At 11:16 p.m., officers spoke to a 20-year-old city man, who said that while he was sitting on a parked car he observed a black Volvo drive slowly down the street and then heard three to four gunshots. The Volvo then sped away from the scene.

After realizing that a bullet grazed his forehead, the victim ran to a nearby house for help. After being treated at the scene by paramedics from Medic 10, the victim was taken to Trinitas Hospital in Elizabeth by the fire department ambulance for treatment.

Police said his injury appears to be nonlife-threatening.
